The University of Calabar (UNICAL) dismisses eight teaching and non-teaching staff members after disciplinary proceedings over alleged examination fraud and other misconduct, including absenteeism. The university also sanctions additional staff following approvals by its governing council. According to reports, the actions are taken after the university’s disciplinary processes are reviewed and confirmed at UNICAL’s 174th Governing Council meeting. One staff member, described as a lecturer (“Don”), faces a sanction involving a demotion or delayed advancement, described in one account as a two-year promotion delay, as part of the measures related to exam irregularities. While the dismissed staff are removed from their roles, the additional sanction reflects the university’s determination that breaches of examination rules and related conduct require further disciplinary consequences. The reports present the sanctions as internal administrative actions taken by UNICAL’s governing bodies and aligned with its disciplinary framework. The specific allegations differ by individual, but the decisions are linked across outlets to examination fraud and non-compliance with university expectations.
